Hi I am having trouble identifying this coin I believe it's Titus Augustus but I can only find right facing examples with the Jewish slave reverse I can't find left facing like the one I have come across any help would be appreciated thanks
I couldn't find it either; but then again, there were at least 45 varieties of this coin minted over a 25 year period (Titus and Domitian reigns).
Perhaps your variety has yet to be shown online.
I perfer not to think that it is other than authentic.

Pwill,
Congrats on the apparent rarity of your find !!
"Titus minted quite a flurry of coins after his father Vespasian's death in June of 79 AD. Many are quite common and are a continuation of themes and types issued under Vespasian. The left facing portraits from this series are much scarcer than right facing.
A Judaea Capta type (or perhaps a reference to a British victory?), this left facing portrait of the type is rated R2 by RIC. Normally the left facing types were issued at ratio of 1:10 against right facing, this one seems to have been minted on an even smaller scale."

If it were mine, I'd only sell it through a first class auction house;like Sotheby's: Sell | Sotheby's
They could give it the appropriate 'hype' to attract many qualiifed buyers
